RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tridium, the leader in open software frameworks for automation
infrastructures, security, energy management and device-to-enterprise
integration and 3e Technologies International (3eTI), an Ultra
Electronics company, a leading provider of highly secure wireless
networks that enable critical systems security, infrastructure security
and industrial automation today announced a strategic alliance that
includes 3eTI incorporating the Niagara Framework into their EnergyGuard
solution designed for military, government, industrial and utility
markets.

As part of 3eTI’s strategy to develop and deliver wireless sensor
network solutions for the military and SmartGrid markets, 3eTI has
integrated the Niagara Framework into its EnergyGuard system.
EnergyGuard is compatible with most SCADA and automation systems and
adds FIPS-140-2 Validated and Common Criteria Certified security
technology to deliver a robust cyber-security solution for energy
management. EnergyGuard affords customers the opportunity to establish
an enterprise network of disparate and proprietary industrial automation
and SCADA systems across a secure wireless network into a central
monitoring environment. By centrally monitoring these high-energy
consuming systems and leveraging a secure wireless network, customers
can significantly increase their energy efficiently while reducing their
costs.

"The addition of Tridium’s Niagara Framework to our portfolio enables
rapid delivery to a critical market need for secure sensor networks for
reliable energy management," said Olugbenga (Benga) Erinle, president of
3eTI. "The core capability of Niagara not only allowed us to develop a
solution to our exact specifications and requirements, but also enabled
us to expand our product solution based on specific customer deployment
needs."

In a recent pilot project for several Naval bases in the Washington, DC
area, 3eTI’s EnergyGuard solution was able to reduce deployment costs
and time, support multiple wireless data points on a highly secure
network and integrate multiple devices and technologies through a
single, flexible interface.

“Developing applications and solutions such as this is exactly what
Niagara was designed to do," said Marc Petock, vice president, global
marketing and communications, Tridium. “NiagaraAX provides
all the tools necessary and creates a common environment that connects
to almost any embedded device imaginable.”
